• Abstract: Large ASR models can inadvertently leak sensitive information, which can be mitigated by formal privacy measures like differential privacy (DP). However, traditional DP training is computationally expensive, and can hurt model performance. Our study explores DP parameter-efficient fine-tuning as a way to mitigate privacy risks with smaller computation and performance costs for ASR models. Through extensive experimentation and progressive optimization, we achieve 4.6%/8.1% word error rate on LibriSpeech clean/other test-sets, setting a new performance benchmark while maintaining (10, 3.52e-6)-DP in fine-tuning a large ASR model with over 600M parameters.

  Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for specific tasks introduces privacy risks, as models may inadvertently memorise and leak sensitive training data. Differential Privacy (DP) offers a solution to mitigate these risks, but introduces significant computational and performance trade-offs. We show that PEFT methods achieve comparable performance to standard fine-tuning while requiring fewer parameters and significantly reducing privacy leakage.

  Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods for large speech models have proven to be highly effective at ASR. With the interest in public deployment of large pre-trained models, there is a rising concern for unintended memorization and leakage of sensitive data points from the training data. This paper is the first to apply differentially private (DP) pre-training to a SOTA Conformer-based encoder, and study its performance on a downstream ASR task assuming the fine-tuning data is public.

  The integration of Differential Privacy with diffusion models (DMs) presents a promising yet challenging frontier. Recent developments in this field have highlighted the potential for generating high-quality synthetic data by pre-training on public data. We propose a strategy optimized for private diffusion models, which minimizes the number of trainable parameters to enhance the privacy-utility trade-off.

  differential privacy (DP) is a prominent method to gauge the degree of security provided to the models. DP is yet not capable of protecting a substantial portion of the data used during the initial pre-training stage. We develop a novel DP continual pre-training strategy using only 10% of public data. Our strategy can achieve DP accuracy of 41.5% on ImageNet-21k, as well as non-DP accuracy of 55.7% and and 60.0% on downstream tasks Places365 and iNaturalist-2021.

• Large Scale Transfer Learning for Differentially Private Image Classification [51.10365553035979]
  Differential Privacy (DP) provides a formal framework for training machine learning models with individual example level privacy. Private training using DP-SGD protects against leakage by injecting noise into individual example gradients. While this result is quite appealing, the computational cost of training large-scale models with DP-SGD is substantially higher than non-private training.
